Saturn, Mars and Venus in good seeing!

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all

Seeing on the am of October 26 was the best I've had in a few months and I was able to take advantage of it (as best I can, anyway):

Yes Virginia, there IS something in the sky beside

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all,

I managed to get some images of Mars and Venus this morning. The seeing wasn't as good as last Friday, but I'll take it.

Aw Heck, I just HAD to do a Holmes! *grin*

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all,

I guess it had to happen, I decided to look for Comet Holmes, it was surprisingly easy to find in my soup! So, I hauled out the CCD stuff and fired off this shot. I MAY have the parts to mount my TOA-130 by the time Halley comes back, so I used the Mewlon instead. Shot with the SBIG ST10, LRGB. L - 6x3sec 1x1 binned, RGB 6x5sec 2x2 binned. I'm sure my post processing could use some help, but there it is:

It's a big image, 750k.

Interesting comparison

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all,

Thought you might like to see this image. I shot the moon and Mars on Sept 4 with the same setup and F/R to show the difference in size and what Mars imagers are up against.

Mars Nov 9, 2007

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all,

Here is a Mars from this morning. I wasn't very confident as I shot the series, but the final results turned out quite nice.

Saturn Nov 13, 2007

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all,

I managed to get a halfway decent Saturn this morning. I fought the processing on it, and ended up with this.

Venus and Mars Nov 13, 2007

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all,

More images from Nov 13 morning. The Mars looks decent, Venus was not as good as I had hoped.
